Black Sabbath Tribute Band Wolfmother Are No More

We jest with the post title, but it looks like wise rock photographer Daniel Boud’s prediction has come true – award winning Australian rock group Wolfmother have called it a day.

Bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett have resigned from the band, effective immediately, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. According to a statement on the band’s website, Stockdale plans to find other musicians before making a new Wolfmother album.

“Wolfmother toured the world virtually non-stop through 2006 and early 2007 on the back of their acclaimed self titled debut album,” the statement said. “Longstanding frictions within the group then led them to take an extended break during the second half of 2007 to consider their future.”

The final straw came at the weekend where Wolfmother headlined last Sunday at the Splendour In The Grass Festival in Byron Bay.

“Following that show Chris Ross decided to announce that he was leaving the band due to irreconcilable personal and musical differences,” the statement said. “Myles Heskett has also decided to leave the band rather than continuing as part of a changed lineup.

It will certainly be interesting to hear what the next record the group (sans Heskett and Ross) puts out sounds like, now won’t it? The break up doesn’t sound all that friendly…
